I was down at the RTA transferring the registration for a car i had just bought when i started talking to the guy about the 15yr old car i'm importing (i was asking whether it is possible to drive it to the compliance workshop - which it is apparently).

But then he told me that after it gets the blue slip it may get knocked back by the RTA, meaning it has to go for a 3rd Tier inspection at an RTA station (because its more than 10yrs old).

He said that it might not happen, but that i should prepare for it so that its not a surprise

Has anyone had that happen to them? Is this common? I've heard they are extra strict there...

they always pick imports for 3rd tier inspections.

they are 50/50 picks on any other car.

With the 15yr old imports they usually don't get inspected. Once you have Engineers certificate and blueslip, RTA just registers it.

With RAW complied vehicle getting registered in personal name, they always get inspected, but RAW vehicle getting registered in dealers name normally doesn't get inspected unless randomly selected.

They check numbers but also check for car in general. For example if car was too low they would probably knock it back.

Well, it has air suspension so height isnt so much of a worry (though even at 10cm height its hard getting up driveways!!!); I've had a look and to be honest there isnt that much 'defectable' stuff on it! (widebody/loud paint isnt illegal).

Got my fingers crossed though :P

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
